We are writing this letter on behalf of Daron Jagodzinske, who is running for North Kitsap School Board.

Scott and I are graduates of North Kitsap High School and long-standing community members. We have known Daron and his family for almost 10 years.

On an ongoing basis, we have witnessed his commitment to his five children’s education and his focus on their growth as contributing members of their community. Daron has a remarkable track record as a coach, tutor, pastor, dad, husband, friend, member of the Chamber of Commerce, etc. He loves kids and he demonstrates his devotion to his and everyone else’s children on a daily basis.

Daron cares about inclusivity and fostering a love of learning. He is an excellent example of a well- rounded person who knows how to communicate effectively and clearly. More importantly, he is a superb listener. He is passionate about public school education and currently has two kids in Poulsbo Middle School and three kids at North Kitsap High School. He values educators and has been a volunteer at the elementary school for many years, tutoring in math and English.

We cannot imagine anyone more qualified for the job in terms of experience, enthusiasm and integrity. This is a terrific opportunity to vote for an exceptional person who has the vision and determination to help steer our schools in the right direction.

Joni and Scott Kimmel
